During the opening day of the Chattanooga Classic, the Racers overpowered Mississippi Valley 3-0 (25-14, 25-7, 25-10).
The first set was very close when Mississippi Valley took an 11-10 lead before Murray State gained the next five points, going up 15-11. MSU gave up one point before taking the next five points to hold a 20-12 advantage. After giving up two final points to the Devilettes, the Racers took the next five points and won the set 25-14.
Murray State dominated the court during the second and third set. MSU never gave up the lead during the second set, and was able to keep an advantage and take the win 25-7. During the third set, MSU started off with the first four points. After giving up one point to Mississippi Valley, they took the next six points to go up 10-1. From that point on the Racers were able to continue their dominance on the court and took the set 25-10.
Alyssa Lelm led the team with 10 kills, followed closely by Kamille Jones who added nine. Three Racers notched a 10-plus dig match. Emily Schmahl and Kaitlyn Embrey had respective career highs for digs while with 15 and 12, while Hannah Stultz contributed 10. Stultz had her first double-double of the season coming off of 24 assists and 10 digs.
When talking about the girls and their stats, Head Coach David Schwepker said, "Honestly, we never stress about individual stuff. Everything is for the team, and they went out and played hard and that's a good team morale booster. Shows me that we have a lot of depth on the team."
Looking forward to tomorrow's matches, Schwepker said, "They are going to be tough. I think they are going to be really strong so we will see what happens tomorrow morning and then think about Chattanooga after that."
The Racers will take the court Saturday against Wright State at 9:00 a.m. and then against tournament host Chattanooga at 6:00 p.m.
